Chapter 127: Morning Bell and Dusk Drum
Martin's "riding buckle" woke up Shi Lei like a morning bell and a dusk drum, he knew that he blamed himself for it, he had too many distracting thoughts in his heart, about Alice, about Jenny, about love!
But this is the basketball court!
At this time, the stadium was noisy, when the cheers of the fans poured into Shi Lei's ears like a tide, and the distracting thoughts that lingered in his heart were like residual droplets on the riverbank, which were submerged by the surging tide in a blink of an eye. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Yes, it's a basketball court!"
Rivers called a timeout, and the team's overall momentum was a little sluggish, whether it was offensive or defensive, the team's tactics were not running very smoothly. When the players can't adjust on their own, he's the manager who has to make a difference.
The main force of the Celtics is not too complicated tactics, and the individual ability of the stars is the main theme, but without Garnett, they have lost a stable scoring point and a defensive attraction on the inside. This undoubtedly makes it much more difficult to shoot on the outside.
Rivers replaced Rondo and brought on House. The Nuggets' interior combination is very flexible, and they do a very good job of rebounding and interior protection, but their outside line is much worse in comparison.
Iverson and Anthony, these are two unqualified defenders, one because of height and the other simply because of attitude.
Rivers called a 15-second timeout, which was short and a few words passed. After being replaced, Shi Lei returned to the game, he casually threw the towel draped over his head on the chair, and the expression on his face did not change much from just now.
At only 1.85 tall, House has little breaking ability, almost zero playmaking, and even pushes the ball forward, which makes him feel awkward if the opposing player defends tightly.
Iverson, on the other hand, is an iconic figure on the outside of the NBA's flexibility, and his gambling steals almost made House lose the ball.
In a hurry, House quickly passed the ball to Pierce.
Defending Pierce was Anthony. Carter, a role player who doesn't have much talent, is the Nuggets' starting point guard this season, and I don't think I need to explain why he switched defenses with Iverson.
This Carter is mediocre in all aspects, shooting averagely, defensively average, but training very hard and playing very hard. However, no matter how aggressive he was, the talent gap didn't allow him to cause much trouble for Pierce.
The game so far, Pierce has been with Ray. Allen's performance was actually average, and he didn't encounter a strong defense, which was the key to the Celtics biting the score.
Everyone thought that Pierce would break through as always, just like he did before, Martin was already standing between Shi Lei and Pierce, ready to make up for it at any time.
But no, Pierce suddenly transferred the ball to Shi Lei.
In the NBA, we often see a player who is hit by a good offense and then immediately counterattacks. But note that it's often the stars of this team who get such opportunities. No one cares if a dragon trick is insulted, how strong the desire for revenge is in the heart, no one!
Shi Lei is not a star of the Celtics yet, but his status in this team is something that no one can ignore.
Camby is a good defender, and as soon as Shi Lei catches the basketball, his defense is in place.
With strength alone, Shi Lei can actually chisel some space under the basket, but seeing that Martin has turned around, Shi Lei does not have enough time to complete all the movements.
Shi Lei leaned on Camby, his footsteps moved back and forth, and he successfully completed the turn before Martin's bag came up.
Shi Lei resolutely pushed towards the basket, so that the Nuggets' interior line also strengthened the mind of the bag.
"Oh, this poor rookie looks like he's going to hit back with a dunk, but how do I feel like I'm going to get a great block right away?"
The commentator of the local TV station was presumptuously sarcastic about Shi Lei.
The basket was close at hand, and Martin's bag was in place. At this time, I have to sigh at Camby's defensive wisdom, although he was pushed by Shi Lei's propulsion and gradually retreated to the basket, he still selectively isolated the passing route between Shi Lei and Perkins.
"What do you think I should do?"
Shi Lei has asked Bowen this question countless times. Bowen is a good teacher, and when Shi Lei needs guidance the most, he always takes the trouble to tell Shi Lei how to do it.
Although Bowen's answer is different every time he asks a question, it can be summed up in a similar meaning - "Find your teammates, trust your teammates, and give them to your teammates!" ”
At that time, Shi Lei's understanding of the world of basketball was like a blank piece of paper, and Bowen's smearing on it became Shi Lei's deepest memory.
Although he came to the Celtics, the team developed him as a star, but that didn't completely eliminate his initial basketball perception.
"Is 'revenge' important?"
In the seemingly indomitable advance, Shi Lei's body suddenly took a step back. This step allowed Shi Lei to get out of the pocket that Camby and Martin were about to plunge into.
Getting rid of the defense, Shi Lei, whose vision was covered just now, began to look for a suitable teammate to pass the ball. However, he found a better opportunity.
The opportunity was in him.
Shi Lei's advance was too resolute, so that everyone had the illusion that he wanted "revenge". This made Camby's domestic Martin's defensive attention completely focused on how to suppress Shi Lei's dunk.
Shi Lei, who unintentionally inserted willows and willows, just wanted to get rid of the defense and pass the ball out, and unexpectedly found that Martin and Camby at this time were facing away from him!
And Shi Lei's sudden withdrawal also made the Nuggets' interior combination intimately stick together.
Opportunity!
Shi Lei immediately jumped on the spot and took off from the floor.
The basketball was held high above his head, like a giant bird soaring, and Shi Lei descended on the Nuggets' hoop.
The crooked narrator's voice suddenly stopped, and explosion-like exclamations and boos poured towards Shi Lei from all directions.
Covering the basket, Shi Lei raised his arms. His legs were on Camby and Martin's backs at the same time.
The Nuggets insiders, who realized that they were not good, invariably shrank their necks and hugged their heads, like a trembling ostrich.
A roar exploded on the Nuggets' basket, and at the same time, the thunderbolt on a sunny day made the Denver people and Pepsi Center fall into an ice cave, and the audience at the scene was full of mournful screams.
